Process Improvement
Large companies have teams to manage their money, bring in new business and keep operations running smoothly. Small-business owners often have to do it all themselves.
Brian Business brings those capabilities together in one connected service — scaled for a small business, without the cost and commitment of building an internal team.

Every bookkeeping client receives a Business Health view designed to highlight areas that may need attention — each insight explains what is happening, why it matters and what action may help.
Example insight · Opportunity identified
Your average customer payment time has increased from 28 to 44 days.
Why it matters: Slower customer payments can restrict cash flow even when sales remain strong.
Recommended next step: Introduce structured invoice reminders and monthly receivables follow-up.
We do not begin with a service we want to sell. We begin by understanding your business and identifying what could make a meaningful difference.
Your bookkeeping, payroll, invoicing, tax and growth services work from the same information and priorities.
Add the services you need without hiring several employees or coordinating multiple providers.
Automation handles repetitive work while important decisions, exceptions and recommendations receive human review.
Clear explanations, visible pricing and practical support without unnecessary complexity.
Tell us where you need help: money, growth or efficiency. Share your current systems, workload and priorities.
We identify what could help now, what can wait and what you likely do not need.
Start with bookkeeping, a website, lead generation or an AI assessment — wherever the need is most immediate.
New services are introduced only when there is a clear operational or financial reason to add them.
For bookkeeping clients, Business Health highlights financial trends and opportunities through one central portal.
The Brian portal provides a central view of your financial operations and active services. Depending on your plan, you can access:

From $495 plus HST, we review your current tools and workflows, identify practical AI and automation opportunities, and provide a prioritized action plan. Implementation is scoped and quoted separately before you approve any work.
No. Start with the service that solves your immediate problem and add other services only when they make sense.
No. You can start with a website, lead generation, marketing, an AI Business Assessment or another service. Bookkeeping is one way to work with Brian, not a requirement.
No. Brian Business is a managed service supported by technology. We perform and oversee the work rather than simply giving you another application to manage.
Not necessarily. We can handle ongoing bookkeeping, tax filing and business support while coordinating with an accountant when specialized accounting, assurance or tax advice is required.

Corporate T2 returns are $799 for bookkeeping clients and start at $999 otherwise, and a nil corporate return is a flat $349. Add a spouse or family return for $75 and an annual GST/HST return for $149. Every price assumes complete, reconciled records — cleanup work, multiple entities, specialized tax matters and additional provincial filings are quoted before work begins.
